Trial Interviews

This week we began testing interviews and interview techniques. As practice we also interviewed one of the music students that came to film their music video. We practiced setting up the cameras as well as the clip microphone which was a radio mic. We had to make sure the frequency on the radio and the receiver were both the same otherwise the sound operator would not hear anything. If there is more than one clip microphone involved then we would have to make sure that both receivers were on different frequencies to avoid any interference between the microphones. We can also use the boom microphone to interview a subject because clip microphones are very sensitive and if we're outside it would be better to use a boom microphone and attach a softy to it.
